Torus has stood down as VP (Ops) in order to concentrate on the NS President election to be held at the end of the month. Torus is highly expected to win, especially as there are no serious challengers.
Stella has been appointed Acting VP (Ops). If Torus wins then it is expected that Stella will continue in this role as Torus' deputy. Stella's previous role of VP (Security) has yet to be filled, Kalifei, the head of NS Intelligence, is a contender though as she is Torus' wife this may prompt accusations of favouritism. Torus will likely wait until she is President before making any decision on the role.
